Princess of the Silver Woods

By: Jessica Day George

Narrated by: Eva Kaminsky

When Petunia, the youngest of King Gregor's 12 dancing daughters, is invited to visit an elderly friend in the neighboring country of Westfalin, she welcomes the change of scenery. But in order to reach Westfalin, Petunia must pass through a forest where strange two-legged wolves are rumored to exist. Wolves intent on redistributing the wealth of the noble citizens who have entered their territory. But the bandit-wolves prove more rakishly handsome than truly dangerous, and it's not until Petunia reaches her destination that she realizes the kindly grandmother she has been summoned to visit is really an enemy bent on restoring an age-old curse.

The stories of Red Riding Hood and Robin Hood get a twist as Petunia and her many sisters take on bandits, grannies, and the new King Under Stone to end their family curse once and for all.

I was on the edge of my seat the whole time

I love everything about this book I love the story line the author The performance was wonderful I love the whole series in fact Wonderful book I would recommend it to anyone!

You can start here

Like Merlin, I am reading this trilogy backwards. The story is so written that you can easily keep track of who is who, doing what to whom. Actually, even if the dozens of royalty get mixed in your head, as in any JDG book, you know that the last persons standing are the heroes.

My only beef (or thorn) is that (as Anton Chekov once said, if there is a gun mentioned in a story, it must be used) a fairly modern hammer-style pistol is mentioned hundreds of times. I found myself shouting "Just use it, already. Sheesh." Then, at a critical moment, with metal bars crammed into the barrel "for extra effect", I wanted to scream, "Don't pull the trigger!!!!"

Simple and cute

This is a cute simple read. Pretty much a repeat of book one, but I didn’t mind. Overall great book.

Another cool twist!

It was cool that one of the 12 princesses ended up being the girl in the woods wearing the red hood as a red riding hood retelling. I loved how it ended and how they solved the under stone problem. So good.

petunia and Oliver

to much magic and it should've shown her and Oliver getting married in the book
